Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7607 = IC 1480 is a double star. The NGC object is one of Tempel's
"nebulae" with a very good ring micrometer measurement. That pins down the
star accurately, as does his note of a 16th magnitude star half an arcminute
to the northeast.
The IC entry comes from Bigourdan, whose micrometric position falls within
seven arcsec of the double. Curiously, the NGC object is missing from his
big table. There is no entry for it, not even with his frequent, terse "Non
vue" comment. See the IC number for more.
